When you have a recurring shoulder issue, yes, you need days off.

Point taken. I just didnt appreciate your condescending attitude. If you would actually research my posts, you will find I almost always back up my claims with facts and statistics. Like I said, I dont follow twitter. And I would be under the impression that if Pronk was nursing an injury that information would be made public elsewhere as well. And its not.....soooooo, again no need to be a dick.

PMed you.

Twitter is the present-day information relaying system. It's a news feed more than anything else.

I know I mentioned it a couple of times but last night, but Carlos needs to bat from the right side more. Seriously, has there ever been a switch hitter who batted right handed against righties? His swing is so much better from that side.

Didn't Vizquel and/or Alomar used to do it against Wakefield at one point?!

hes hitting .295 from the right side of the plate this year, or something similar without looking at the splits. But its right in that ballpark. It seems he swings as hard as possible from the left side, but just make solid contact when batting right.

It's a matter of pitch recognition I think. He sees the ball better from lefties than he does from righties. Not to mention, breaking balls come in to him rather than going away from him. Makes a huge difference with his swing plane.

That's all the analysis we need. Call Manny, tell him to make the change permanent.
